We're a Holding Company, Not a Private Equity Firm

Dear business owner,

Congratulations on what you’ve built—it took everything you had and then some.

Our name comes from the Garden of Eden—a place where all people were created to thrive— that vision inspired me to build Garden City Equity as a long-term home for businesses like yours.

The average American spends over 90,000 hours at work, which is why we believe work is one of the most powerful ways to impact people and our country.

Our model is different. Traditional PE runs on short-term capital from institutional investors & maximizes returns at all costs. We’re backed by long-term, mission-driven families who prioritize people and purpose.

We use little to no debt—not max leverage. And we partner with existing leaders, rather than replacing them with outsiders.

We invest to grow profits and create lasting impact—ensuring every team member is treated with dignity, respect, and purpose. 

People over profits. That’s why we exist.
